Proving, once again, what complete fucking idiot he is!

What's weird is that Presidents aren't allowed to drive themselves. Secret service is no doubt impounding that new car until he's no longer their problem.

[–] Neverclear@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 days ago (2 children)

He actually said this on camera, that he wouldn't be driving it. But then, he said that he hadn't driven in a "long time"...

I don't think he has a driver's license.

That's code for he never learned to drive. Whatever polite bullshit you're used to from other politicians isn't happening here, so you can safely assume the exact opposite of what he's saying.

He did have a drivers license and was shown driving in 2014 on a video that his wife posted. The license expired in 2020. He probably didn't renew it, since ex-presidents are also not allowed to drive, so he hasn't been allowed to drive since 2016.

It'd be such a shame if it caught fire.

But then, Chump never drives anyway so....

🤷‍♂️ 🤷‍♂️

Will this be the car he now occupies in the motorcade?

Duh. The dude has the intellect of a 90-year-old rotten turd. What the fuck did you expect from him? Are you fucking stupid enough to think he would do any differently than suck Elon’s ball sack on the front lawn of the White House in front of a bunch of cameras?

If you did, I found the Trump voter.

Okay but were they actual recalls or just OTA software update "recalls"

Honestly , I wonder how they got 37 and what they are. My guess is that most were really small software updates like you said. With that said, here is the list of the ones that I heard about. Out of the 6 listed, 5 were exclusive to the truck, and it looks like 5 of the 6 were actual recalls.

I'm not sure how people are ok with that, considering the price and how awful the reviews are about how it's built and drives. For comparison, I have now owned 5 cars in my life and had a total of 3 recalls. The total cost of the 5 cars combined is 26k, and that's over 25 years. My one and only point is I can't believe people are willing to throw 90k at a car full of problems when 90k should be buying you a well-built luxury car with peace of mind.
